OK, that is a new information for me. I thought, before your comment,
that aptitude show xxx show all architectures available for a package
and it is not !
Thanks for information.
I have another question about architecture :
How is it possible to check if a package could be built on architecture
without the appropriate hardware ?
I can say that dhcp-probe could be build on i386 and any compatible
architectures and with the upstream notes, i can say that dhcp-probe
could be built on sparc but how to test on other architectures ?

Yes, dh_installinit will automatically put *a* default file in place.
As you noticed, it place *A* default file.
That i would like to do, is to place at least one file and i doesn't
know how many because it depends of the number of network interfaces the
host on which the package is installed has !
May be dh_installinit has the possibility to do this with --name option
but in the man page it isn't specified if the dh_installinit script
support multiple --name option. Moreover, all default option (for each
interface) if generated on fly during postinst step, is it possible to
run dh_installinit in postinst script ?
So at my level in Debian knowledge, i use ucf, as Michal saids, to do
the job. I need help to check if my ucf first time usage is correct or not.
Best regards.
